Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions:

Prep the Oven & Pans
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream the Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy (about 2 minutes).

Add Eggs & Vanilla
Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.

Stir in the Chips
Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts, if using.

Scoop & Bake
Drop dough by rounded tablespoons (or use a cookie scoop) onto the baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Bake Until Golden
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers still look slightly soft. Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
